Really? I have pretty good luck with Ghost. I just found the .exe for Ghost Walker. In the Standard version, it's a DOS file - and they make no mention of it anywhere in the Docs. In the Enterprise Version, there are direct references it right inside of the GUI Console. So unless you do some snooping around (when using the standard version), the average user would never know that they are already sitting on the executable - rather than hunting high and low for it.
I just ran it, and it worked like a dream. The sucker joined the Domain, rebooted, and I logged in with no problems at all. Whew! That is done... Every time I see references Sysprep (in Yahoo, etc.) - I get the impression that you have to contact MS for that directly. Is that true? Or can I download it somewhere?

Yeah - we use Sysprep before doing the images for our desktops. I still try to avoid using any imaging programs for servers. I don't trust 'em.

Hello, I have an Exchange Box, that I ghosted to another hard drive. I did this, because I need another duplicate machine - so I can plop it into a testing environment. Also, the amount of customization and software on the original machine, was extensive - and doing it this way, will save me many, many hours of work. Now I changed the ghosted machine name, etc. so there would not be any name collisions on the network when I first brought it up on the network, but when it comes time to join the Domain, and then log into it, I get an error message. When I look into the Event Logs, it says it's because it already detected another system with the same SID on the network (which makes total sense). Since Ghost is such a tremendously popular method of duplicating machines, etc. surely there must be a utility out there, that lets you change or produce new SIDs for machines. Could anybody point me in the right direction, regarding this topic?
